[QUOTE="new2mud, post: 2163434, member: 24831"] I picked up some new (non-belted) brass that the manufacturer says is at max shoulder length and therefore should be full-length sized before using. (It is long at the shoulder, which I suppose technically would be [I]minimal[/I] headspace). From my comparator it sits just about the point where my other brass needs bumping, so it’s not freakishly long. If one has a Savage (ie easy to set headspace with barrel nut), any issues with just headspacing the barrel a tad long—snug against this minimally-headspaced brass and firing? (Yes—I get that one would then want to reset the headspace after going through the first re-sizing). Not saying I won’t go ahead and FL-size all the brass first, but wanted to use this situation as an example to learn. [/QUOTE]
